That is flipping awesome and a great swap!! I’ll have to keep this in mind because I’m always on the lookout for a non running / no engine golf kart to do this to. Great stuff Red Beard!
After watching this you made it more work than necessary the engine fits the rear mounts and just add a square pipe in front and drill holes it sits right on the original mounts, I even used the original belt.
I have one of these that is 39 years old and I want to do this to mine. Thanks for the build video, it is has given me so ideas and links to check out....
I did this years ago the rear bolts fit and the front only needed a 1” square tubing added to fit, no need in a charging system just add a solar panel from harbor freight $13 to the front and your battery will stay charged. The exhaust is the problem you have to weld it and make it fit as for the engine running it doesn’t i pull my 3000 pound boat around with mine it’s a beast
There are a couple of issues you didn`t discuss. What did you use for a fuel tank and the engine doesn`t have vacuum for a fuel pump. I installed the same engine used the stock tank with a electric fuel pump. I also purchased a bushing to use the factory pulley on the engine so I was able to mount the generator starter in front of the engine to crank it with the foot pedal and charge the battery.
Is there a second video for this golf cart? I have an old Yamaha golf cart collecting dust and if I can put one of those new predator motors in it man it’d be badass.
Red beard how do you fit the air cleaner on the adapter there is no room on my golf cart did not see how. You made it fit any help would be appretiated
I just got a free cart with a 420 but the ignition wires were cut so this shows me where they go and I have not been able to find anything about it anywhere so thanks
So this looked like u did not have to put n a new forward n reverse gear box, u just threw n a new motor n had reverse. My question to u is are their only certain golf carts that u can do this to without having to put in a new gearbox. Or do u need a golf cart that engages n forward&revers behind your legs.
I have a 1987 Yamaha it had a motor but they put a Honda engine on it but they didn’t hook cables up to the trash mission can you make a video to show me how to hook up the transmission for reverse it’s there but not hooked up and don’t understand maybe it’s broken like your video👍
Do you do engine swaps for customers? I just found youre RUclips channel and have been sitting here half the night watching youre videos lol I have a super clean older lifted EZ go that I would love to add a rear locker and add some more power to if you do customer work I’d love to send it down!!!
Ole boy could have pressure washed that rusty crusty old cart for ya since you were gonna be digging into it. And this thang needed you hopping up that engine.
Forklift Nations’s amazing custom build Yamaha Golf cart powered with BigBattery Eagle Lithium Ion Phosphate batteries replaced 496 lbs. Trojan T105 for only 38 lbs. per battery. Powers 4x of powered performance, 4x in total in range, drop and replacement of GC2 lead acid no special mounting bracket and 10 year full warranty. #batteries #golfcart #lithiumbattery #BigBattery
I have a g2 cart. I thought I needed to add a reverse setup to change the motor. After watching it is my understanding that the F/R lever controls the rear-end and not the rotation of the starter.(RIGHT?) So I can put any motor in this Honda GX390 with no effect on the reverse ?
@afriend6286 I am. Maybe it's the predator model they had. I just got a cart with a predator 212 and it only has forward. The 212 also has a pull start only, so I wondered if they bought the starter separately or it came with their motor. If you're being sarcastic trying to insinuated im stupid, you are more welcome to fuck right off 🙏🖕
I've done that...used the whole drivetrain & front / rear suspension as well. It'll climb anything and do 55 if I want it to. Built it a few years ago and still ripping it. I've got a few vids of it uploaded if you wanna check it out.
Hey. Do you think a disk clutch or a centrifugal clutch would still work good and engage when submerged in water and mud. I have a mud mower project going and I’m trying to stay away from belt to completely eliminate slippage issues
Thanks for your video. I have an older model 3-wheel EZ-GO cart and want to convert to gasoline. I have an electric start 11hp horizontal thats in a bad generator. I purchased the cart to pull trash can to end of my 3/4 mile driveway and possibly cruise the neighborhood. If you have an suggestions on putting that engine on the cart I would appreciate anything you can add. I just can't afford six 6v batteries. I did think about put 3 deep cycle batteries in it. I have two 12v 75ah batteries now. Again, any suggestions would be appreciated and I enjoy your videos! Keep them going!
I just did the same thing but didn’t buy that $200 plate and spend hundreds s of more dollars when you can make it your self. I also put the starter generator back on
I went for max danger. Kept the stock height and 18"rear tire diameter. Recently changed to 19" on the front. 5:3 offset rims with 3" wheel spacers for stability. I live on Clack Mountain in Northeastern Kentucky. Haven't even come close to tipping it. ruclips.net/video/qrtbYT4oIyY/видео.html
Red beard, i just installed a 420cc DuroMax engine in a cushman 800x. I want to use the OEM fuel tank to the cart but is needs a pulse line to operate the fuel pump. What do you suggest I use? Should I put a low volume electric fuel pump or try to put a vacuum adapter on the carb? Thanks!
The commentary during the test drive was gold

That is flipping awesome and a great swap!! I’ll have to keep this in mind because I’m always on the lookout for a non running / no engine golf kart to do this to. Great stuff Red Beard!
Ive had a bunch of these golf carts the G2/G9 platform are my favorite and the best in my opinion
The Hyundai hgg1 is a clone of the G2. I freakin love mine with a "Stage 2" 420 hemi.
They need to make "dog bones" for the small block engines. They would sell like hotcakes lol
After watching this you made it more work than necessary the engine fits the rear mounts and just add a square pipe in front and drill holes it sits right on the original mounts, I even used the original belt.
This video captures fun of being a kid in all of us. Thank you!
This channel has NEVER got the respect it deserves!!!!
Neither does trump.
Looked like a pretty straight forward swap. Very cool man
straight until they hop on it and straight fairy lmaoo
I am trying to build my own 420cc club cart right now,and this really helped.
Blake did you build your cart?
one of the more entertaining test drives in a while haha
I have one of these that is 39 years old and I want to do this to mine. Thanks for the build video, it is has given me so ideas and links to check out....
"hey come on now" don't talk about governor s like that! With red beard got love for governors haha
😆
That golf cart is Bad Ass, and it Sounds Good!

I now see yall have made a video for the Yahmaha G2 lol. New to your channel. My apologies sir..love what yall do keep up the amazing work!! 🤘
Yeah, I'd like to see the air bag install too.
Maybe my favorite video from you guys to date! Get it done and having fun. I needed that.
I feel like the engine might run hotter since it's in house covered from open wind. Nice and looks fun build
Man’s got a great taste in tools
Dang, these two seem like a lot of fun!
" sittin sideways" " boys in the day"🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️
Still waiting on an update on the high output charging system
2:48 these 2 nuts! 🤣🤣🤣 gottem
You and guys are so funny when you get going on a test ride we need more of this have fun guys great trail by the way
Amazing my friend
There are a couple of issues you didn`t discuss. What did you use for a fuel tank and the engine doesn`t have vacuum for a fuel pump.

Hey buddy iam doing the same swap do you have any part numbers or pictures of your project like the bushing,fuel pump,pulley thank you
I used the pipe in the valve cover for vacuum fuel pump just put an inline fuel filter to deal with any oil residue been working for 3 years so far.
Nice i just got a six wheel gator john deer. Blow motor but came with a new predator motor.
I want to put the V twin in my G2. Wonder it will fit
I did this a couple years ago kept breaking the choke lever for vibration or bumps. Bought a Mikuni carb definitely worth the money
Perfect candidate for the filter/oil cooler upgrade.
Heck yea I miss the longer videos
Glad to see I’m not the only one with a red toy, I mean tool!.... problem lol
same ive got 3 hondas and my dads got a honda and i have a red gokart lol
Did it to mine but having shifting issues in the transaxle as the rpm at idle keeps the primary engaged. Good job onner boys
that m12 stubby tho things is a beast
Would like you guys to do an installation of one of the vegas carts kits but a little more indepth. Great content though. Hilarious!!!
excellent for going hunting or taking tools when you're broken down on the property stuff of this kind
Great job thanks guys
I wish you would do a 670 swap on a older gas Ez-GO cart. I have one that came with a small 2 stroke engine that lacks power.
Then do it
ya gotta love test drives
I've always wanted to get a go kart and engine swap it. If I ever get a decent amount of money I'll be doing this
Nice! I like it!
What primary clutch is that?
Is there a second video for this golf cart? I have an old Yamaha golf cart collecting dust and if I can put one of those new predator motors in it man it’d be badass.
Try adding ignition including key ignition for the lawnmower engine powered golf cart making this a basic like mini car.
Great Job!!
10:18 I definitely agree about that
Red beard how do you fit the air cleaner on the adapter there is no room on my golf cart did not see how. You made it fit any help would be appretiated
I just got a free cart with a 420 but the ignition wires were cut so this shows me where they go and I have not been able to find anything about it anywhere so thanks
Use a John deer 5 pin generic ignition switch it works
Scooters
Dang, just like the seen on Star Wars going through the forest with the speedsters!
A bunch of big kids having fun 😂
Yessir!
How is the engine getting gasoline ? I saw that you removed the original Yamaha fuel tank and took the engine fuel tank...
That’s pretty awesome
So this looked like u did not have to put n a new forward n reverse gear box, u just threw n a new motor n had reverse. My question to u is are their only certain golf carts that u can do this to without having to put in a new gearbox. Or do u need a golf cart that engages n forward&revers behind your legs.

Can you put a gas engine in a electronic golf kart CAN YOU TELL ME THANKS
You'd have to get a gas rear-end and make engine mounts and a swing arm
@@timmyobert4375 ok got it

Awesome video haha! Nice land too! Where yall live at?
It goes awesome

Any chance to do a Yamaha speed cart. I had one in 6th grade my buddy had a mccollach kart
I have a few spare carts in the woods and want to 420 swap them for as cheap as possible
Good morning red beard , white beard here
How was you getting the reverse gear to work ? I put the same motor in my g2 and lost Reverse . And what is the drive belt part number ?
reverse is switched at the transaxle on G2's. Sounds like you had a G1 that ran the engine backwards to achieve reverse.
I've got a G14 that I'm putting a 18hp Duromax on and I can't wait!
How did you run throttle cable, and all the electrical? Did you use a fuel pump? You put it in mocked an exhaust then it was running.
There’s a lot of custom fabrication required for these engine swaps. Installing an LS in a Jeep wasn’t this much work.
I have a g2 cart. I thought I needed to add a reverse setup to change the motor. After watching it is my understanding that the F/R lever controls the rear-end and not the rotation of the starter.(RIGHT?) So I can put any motor in this Honda GX390 with no effect on the reverse ?
The rear end controls forward and reverse
Have you ever swapped out a motor on a Bulldog? American sports works?
How do you get it to reverse. Did I missed you putting in a transmission.
Drive/Reverse is in the rearend.
I have a Harley Davidson and the mother runs no both ways. Thank you.
The Harley was a 2 stroke it ran foward and backwards starter motor turned foward or reverse to start motor
well,i need the air filter and the adapter you installed! where did you baught them? i need this for my tiller here .thanks gervais.
I would like to know why you didn't show how you hooked up the starter and the foot speed pedal for reverse and forward can you do a video on that?
How did you maintain the ability to go into reverse? Did you add an electric start?
Are you serious
@afriend6286 I am. Maybe it's the predator model they had. I just got a cart with a predator 212 and it only has forward. The 212 also has a pull start only, so I wondered if they bought the starter separately or it came with their motor.
If you're being sarcastic trying to insinuated im stupid, you are more welcome to fuck right off 🙏🖕
Would love to see a Yamaha 350cc warrior/big bear motor (comes stock with reverse), in one of your custom buggies
I've done that...used the whole drivetrain & front / rear suspension as well. It'll climb anything and do 55 if I want it to. Built it a few years ago and still ripping it. I've got a few vids of it uploaded if you wanna check it out.
Hey. Do you think a disk clutch or a centrifugal clutch would still work good and engage when submerged in water and mud. I have a mud mower project going and I’m trying to stay away from belt to completely eliminate slippage issues
Make a waterproof case around the centrifugal clutch
Curious to know how it still can go into reverse???
me too!
On the g2 foward and reverse are controlled by cables to rear end not by starter motor any motor works
Now if I can just found me a old body and put this motor in and realize how expensive golf carts are crazy
He's got a problem - a tool addiction!! Lmao!!
Thanks for your video. I have an older model 3-wheel EZ-GO cart and want to convert to gasoline. I have an electric start 11hp horizontal thats in a bad generator. I purchased the cart to pull trash can to end of my 3/4 mile driveway and possibly cruise the neighborhood. If you have an suggestions on putting that engine on the cart I would appreciate anything you can add. I just can't afford six 6v batteries. I did think about put 3 deep cycle batteries in it. I have two 12v 75ah batteries now. Again, any suggestions would be appreciated and I enjoy your videos! Keep them going!
Good channel
Hey Red Beard! I did the same exact swap....and im only getting 21mph? Everyone is claiming 35! Suggestions?
PLEASE HELP, I HAVE THIS SAME SETUP BUT HIW DO I MAKE IT GO IN REVERSE?? IS IT IN THE REAR AXLE??
Where did you get your torque converter?
Hey I twisted my whole rear end because of the torque should I use torsion bars or make a swing arm?
How did you keep reverse with that motor?
Will the kit work on cart that was battery operated
Love your videos, keep up the good work! Also do you know if the Duromax XP7HPE has a charging system in place since its electric start?
Is the conversion plated needed if just swapping in the Predator and no other mods?
What Motocycle muffler did you show toward the beginning? I'm looking for something to quiet down the Predator 212 on my golf cart.
what kind of reverse box you running
I just did the same thing but didn’t buy that $200 plate and spend hundreds s of more dollars when you can make it your self. I also put the starter generator back on
Can't help wishing it was de-governed for max danger, but the customer is prob wise wanting to keep the tip over potential down.
Stay tuned......
I went for max danger. Kept the stock height and 18"rear tire diameter. Recently changed to 19" on the front. 5:3 offset rims with 3" wheel spacers for stability. I live on Clack Mountain in Northeastern Kentucky. Haven't even come close to tipping it. ruclips.net/video/qrtbYT4oIyY/видео.html
13:08 you just made me depressed to know my garage aint all shiny and clean. Mines just rusty and cluttered. :(
So Cool
Pretty cool
Is that basic wiring the same for the 22 hp Predator? If not, do you have any videos that explain that wiring?
I used a generic john deer ingnition switch a got from Amazon and it has a start kill and run and can wire lights off it also
Kevin alberts
Where are you putting the turbo 🤔
Red beard, i just installed a 420cc DuroMax engine in a cushman 800x. I want to use the OEM fuel tank to the cart but is needs a pulse line to operate the fuel pump. What do you suggest I use? Should I put a low volume electric fuel pump or try to put a vacuum adapter on the carb? Thanks!
What motor is this and what kind of clutch is that. I have a Yamaha g9 and I want to get a motor for it
